Katy Perry seeks good fortune by placing her credit card into Rome’s iconic Trevi Fountain, as captured in a recent social media video. The 41-year-old singer, dressed in a grey hoodie, stands before the landmark and sings, “Someone give me a penny.”
Trevi Fountain Tradition with a Twist
Without spare change, Perry references her song “Save as Draft” from the album Witness, noting, “Y’all, I told you in ‘Save as Draft’ that I don’t f**k with change.” She explains the gesture brings good luck before quickly retrieving the card to prevent it from floating away. The post, captioned “Just Rome’ing around,” includes photos and videos from her Italian getaway.
The Trevi Fountain, completed in 1762, attracts over 1,000 visitors hourly who toss coins for wishes.
Rome Performances and Sightseeing
Perry performs a private concert at La Nuvola on Saturday, showcasing toned arms and midriff in a glittering bandeau top and black silk pants. Her hair slicked into a chic bun, she sings her 2010 hit “The One That Got Away.” Backstage photos feature her with the crew.
She visits St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, stunning in a black-and-white dress. Playfully, she sings “Pope Leo, hallelujah” to honor the first American pontiff. Other shares include a FaceTime call with her five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, during a bath—covering her face with a shark emoji—and quirky items like an insect keychain and marble bust.
Perry shares Daisy with ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom, 49; the pair split in 2025 after seven years together. She currently dates former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, 54.
Australian Police Investigation
The lighthearted post arrives amid a probe by Australian police into sexual assault allegations from actress Ruby Rose, 40, stemming from a 2010 incident at Melbourne’s Spice Market nightclub. Perry vehemently denies the claims.
Victoria Police’s Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) detectives examine the historical assault at a licensed CBD venue. A spokesperson states: “Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s CBD. As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further.”
A Perry representative counters: “The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous, reckless lies. Ms Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named.”
